The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
Can you restore a class that has been deleted. I deleted my Sandbox accidentally trying to delete the content inside of it.
Thank you!!!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @ycota1
You cannot recover it, but your school's Canvas Admin may be able to and if not, then Instructure can.
However, unless you had something special on it (which I doubt since you said you were wiping your content), why not just create a new one or have your elearning department create one for you? Learn how at https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12819-415241327
If you do not see the opportunity to create a new course on your dashboard, then this permission has been restricted at your school (many restrict this), and you will need to contact your school's Canvas Admin/Support folks.

reinstalled. Just waiting....
Thanks again!
